Abstract A high expression system of the γ-glutamylcysteine synthetase gene (gshl) of Escherichia coli B was constructed, and rapid purification of GSH-I was performed. The active site of GSH-I was analysed by chemical modification, and Lys, Arg and His residues seemed to be involved in the active site of the enzyme. Among them, His residues were substituted to Ala by site-directed mutagenesis, and His-150 was found to be essential for the activity of GSH-I.
